<p>In English, the only simple word we have for it is <i>American.</i>
I remember the delight I experienced in high school when I learned
that Spanish had a separate word for it, <i>estadounidense.</i><br>
</p>
<p>In Canada, the indigenous tribes are called First Peoples.
Canadians are familiar that US English uses <i>Native American</i>
instead (though many Americans aren't equally familiar with the
Canadian term), so I'm not sure how a Canadian would interpret the
phrase <i>native American.</i> They'd probably just assume you
were using the US English term.<br>
